@pixelfed I will admit some of them "just wanted to learn more about the fediverse" and I was really tempted to engage, but after the whole Meta NDA mess I caused, I figured it's best if I just ignore all of them

"I Didn't Come This Far, Just to Come This Far and Not Be Happy."

I'm not sure I could live with myself if I took on VC funding, no amount of money could buy this - monetization and data collection would make it just as bad as IG, I never started this to become them, let's do it right

@dansup @pixelfed

The thing about VC funding is that however it starts out, it is guaranteed to end badly. The goals of the creator are to make a great product and a healthy business. The goals of the VC are to put in some money, pump the hell out of their investment, and exit with more money within three to five years. To hell with the business.

If you care about what you are creating this process will leave you miserable and broken, which is a very good reason to avoid it like the plague.
